[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your premise is mean. While I am married, the majority of my single friends are single because they want to be: they value freedom, spontaneity, and not being tied down. That doesn’t make them low-value people who don’t have lots of people who love them.

Who has time to ruminate on DCUM meanies, and tying meanness to being single?

[b]When I see someone be mean on DCUM, I assume they either are having a bad day, or there’s some background resentment they have on an issue that they’re “venting” on DCUM. Like, if you get worked up over someone else’s ILs or parents or kid’s teacher, you probably have unresolved issues with those folks in your own life. [/b][/quote]

This is helpful, thanks. I agree also with a pp who says she visits like a sociologist and try to show up like that, but I admit that I often get the nastiest responses when I'm trying my best to be helpful. So, that can throw me. It's good to have reminder that like driving a car, I don't make up stories about the world and ruminate, so I shouldn't about reading here. If I get mad/frustrated, it's about me, and I can change that. [/quote]
